Playlists explore a topic using a variety of activities (reading, scripture, listening to music, watching a video, playing a game, discussing questions, studying art, etc.). We choose a theme each month and post Playlists designed for Children, Youth, and Adults on our Desert Cross Faith Formation Website. Together we study the same topic but with different content.

Pastor Class with Pastor Steve
Jesus as Wisdom Teacher
October 16-November 20
Thursdays   7:00 pm   Tempe Fellowship Hall
Jesus was neither a priest or a prophet but was most often addressed as Rabbi, a term that was not used in the Old Testament.  His wisdom teachings grew out of the Wisdom Literature of the Hebrew Scriptures, books like Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, and a few of the Psalms.

In the class we will take a closer look at those wisdom books and at the wisdom teachings of Jesus.

Share a Meal with Matthew
October 29-November 19
Wednesdays
Potluck Dinner   6:00 pm
Class   7:00 pm
Gilbert Site
You're invited to a four-week class with Pastor Thadd called "Share a Meal with Matthew," beginning Wednesday, October 29 at the Gilbert campus.

Each week, we'll start by sharing a meal at 6pm, then we'll dive into the Gospel of Matthew together from 7-8.  We'll explore key themes from the gospel of Matthew that will be the primary text for much of the next church year.

Whether you're new to the Bible or a longtime reader, this is a chance to dive deeper into Matthew's Gospel in community.  Come with your questions, your curiosity, and definitely your appetite--for Scripture, for connection, and for what God is doing among us.

To RSVP, contact Pastor Thadd
